I find this very confusing.
I want to set up users that bellong to groups.
I want to have 50 or so shares, each share should have 1 user or 1 or more groups allowed to axs it.
I want to use cifs.
File system is ext4.
Users use MAC, Linux, Windows Xp, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Can I set security via "Privileges" only? If so, what is the purpose of ACL?
Or am I supposed to set both?
In fact, it is even more confusing than that.
When I create a share in OMV I am presented by the GUI with a permission opion as such:
"Administrator: read/write, Users: no access, Others: no access"
What exaclty is this for? What should I set it to?
I ask this becuase later I need to set the permissions in 2 other places
(1) Privileges button
(2) ACL button
So that is a total of 3 places...
For example, let's say I create a share as such
"Administrator: read/write, Users: no access, Others: no access"
Then later I press the Privilages button and give my custom group (Accountants)
read/write privilleges.
John belongs to Accountants group and I think all users belong to users group...
So let's think about this...
Do these Accountants have read/write axs to the share or not?? Conflicting settings to say the least.
In one place I have Users: no access, in the other place I have Accountants: read/write
Let's consider scenario two:
I create a share as such
"Administrator: read/write, Users: read/write, Others: no access"
Now I press the Privileges button because I only want Accoutants (once again) to have axs.
I give them read/write privvileges.
But what is the state of things? Again it is clear as mud. Why would accountants have the only axs? When I made the share I said all users have read/write.
Very confusing.
Then there is the whole question of what is the ACL button for when you have a privileges button.
